The cerium precipitants were transferred to 50 ml centrifuge tubes and centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 15 minutes and the supernatant discarded. 20 ml of 0.5 M potassium acetate was then added, shaken vigorously with the sample to resuspend the precipitate and centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 15 minutes and the supernatant discarded. This procedure was repeated twice more to give a total of 5 potassium acetate washes.
- 4 ml of 1 M HNO3 was then added to each sample tube
This should dissolve all sample ‘gel’ pellets, but some required extra time and extra HNO3 to fully dissolve.
- 18 ml of ultrapure water added to each sample
